Highest quality sound with your favorite records
• Independent Dual Moving Coils
The DP-A100 employs an independent 2-channel moving coil
to facilitate playback over a wide frequency range and from
low- to high-level signals. Superior playback performance is also
ensured with flat frequency response and stable left-right
channel separation.
• Fulcrum point of vibrating system that achieves
stable tracking
The fulcrum point of the DP-A100’s vibrating system is made
of extremely fine piano wire, and the tip of the stylus tracks
smoothly and securely in the groove of the record.
• Dual-structure cantilever
The DP-A100 uses a lightweight yet rigid dual-structure
cantilever. Superior frequency response over the entire audible
frequency range is achieved by minimizing the mechanical
impedance of the vibrating system.
• Long-lasting solid diamond stylus
Since the tip of the DP-A100’s stylus uses a solid diamond,
stable characteristics with negligible friction are maintained for
a long time. In fact, each diamond is individually tted into the
stylus so that only the hardest section – where the diamond has
crystallized – touches the wall of the groove.
• Cross-shaped iron core and coils, to minimize
sensitivity dierences between channels
Wrapping separate coils on the cross-shaped iron core success-
fully minimizes sensitivity dierences between the left and right
channels for optimum separation while also reducing mass.
• Characteristics chart packed with each product as a
guarantee of superior performance
Eac h DP- A100 ha s b een ca r efu lly ma n ufa ctur ed and
packed with its own characteristics chart to guarantee
superior performance.
